After a PET scan on Friday we just found out that the metastasis to my husband's lungs is spreading. The Erbitux did not work and things are getting worse. Our oncologist wants to try a different chemo. He also suggested a second opinion from a cancer center in NY that might be willing to get him on a trial since he is young. They also suspect the cancer has returned to base of tongue. All this after surgery, chemo, radiation and the Erbitux. I can't even ask "what next" because I'm afraid of the answer. I just keep thinking of Brenda.
Thanks for letting me vent, Sue
